The TransYouth Project aims to help scientists, educators, parents, and children better understand the varieties of human gender development. Based out of the Human Diversity Lab at Princeton University (formerly at the University of Washington), we are currently leading the first large-scale, national, longitudinal study of development in gender nonconforming, transgende
r, and gender variant youth . In addition to our primary goal of supporting the first major study of transgender children in the U.S., we are also conducting research about the origins of anti-transgender bias, and have plans for outreach projects in collaboration with some of our partner organizations. Our current research study focuses on children aged 3–12 who are transgender, gender nonconforming, siblings of gender nonconforming children, as well as control participants (those who are gender conforming).
